Think about the people closest to you. Tell us about how the coronavirus has affected them, and their life.

My kids have just finished school but this was by far the most difficult school year in all of our lives. They attended virtually at first, then after a couple of weeks two of them went back to school in August, which was followed a few days later by another one who would only attend the majority of the school year for two days a week. He then was pulled from school in October - December because of an exposure at the school (not his class). My older two went back at the end of September. Wednesdays for four of them were virtual. Have you ever tried to give a cat a bath? That is what virtual school was like on Wednesdays... Then in November one of my older ones was in "close contact" with another student who had tested positive. Our child showed no symptoms and tested negative. He was angry because that killed his deer hunting season before it could even get started. It was a rough year of starting and stopping. Fortunately kids are resilient!
